We are seeking an experienced Director of Accounting to lead our accounting and controllership function and help advance a modern, scalable finance infrastructure at a fast-growing, venture-backed healthcare technology company. This role owns the integrity, accuracy, and timeliness of the company's financial reporting and serves as a key partner to Finance leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

Reporting to the EVP, Finance and partnering closely with the Senior Director of FP&A, the Director of Accounting oversees core accounting operations, including month-end close, US GAAP compliance, audit readiness, and technical accounting. This individual will deliver accurate, defensible financials while modernizing systems and processes through automation and technology to support a growing, complex business.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in high-growth environments, brings strong technical accounting expertise, and enjoys building scalable processes and infrastructure in a fast-moving organization. The ideal candidate demonstrates integrity, grit, adaptability, and collaboration, and is excited about the opportunity to make a meaningful impact at a mission-driven organization.

• Ensure GAAP compliance and technical accounting excellence: Establish and maintain accounting policies and procedures in compliance with US GAAP, including oversight of revenue recognition, contract accounting, equity-related accounting, and other complex accounting matters.
• Own financial reporting & data integrity: Prepare and deliver accurate, GAAP-compliant financial statements and reporting packages for internal leadership, Board materials, investors, auditors, and other external stakeholders. Serve as the final owner of financial data integrity, reconciliations, supporting schedules, and accounting documentation.
• Lead controls, audit, and risk management: Design and maintain a scalable internal control environment; serve as primary liaison for external auditors, tax advisors, and valuation providers; proactively identify and mitigate accounting and reporting risks.
• Drive systems, automation, and process improvement: Serve as owner of NetSuite and key upstream finance systems while driving automation, scalable workflows, and process improvements that reduce manual effort, minimize reconciliation risk, and support a growing and increasingly complex business.
• Cross-functional partnership & leadership: Collaborate closely with FP&A, Legal, HR, Technology, Product, and Operations teams to support new initiatives, contracts, growth programs, and strategic projects. Provide pragmatic accounting guidance to non-finance stakeholders and help build scalable operational processes as the company grows.
